Chrysler Group, LLC, has announced it will recall 24,177 vehicles in its Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep lines for potential brake failure. The automaker reported the potential defect to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on January 7. The vehicles were built with an improperly formed or missing part in the brake system, a defect that could result in brake failure without warning and cause a serious auto accident.

The potentially defective automobiles are mostly Dodge Ram pick-up trucks. These pick-ups account for nearly 17,000 of the recalled vehicles, but here's the complete list of the recalled cars and their model years is below:

• Sebring (Chrysler) 2010
  
• Ram (Dodge) 2009-2010
  
• Avenger (Dodge) 2010
  
• Nitro(Dodge) 2010
  
• Commander (Jeep) 2010
  
• Grand Cherokee (Jeep) 2010
  
• Liberty (Jeep) 2010
  

At this point, there have been no confirmed accidents or deaths associated with the recalled models.
